An Explosive Situation?

FRUIT COVE, FL -- Fruit Cove resident Doug Pilinko says UXO's are common
in his neck of the woods-and they're not from outer space.

"You dig them up all the time here," he says, holding up a small, rusted
"marker" bomb.

Pilinko's property abuts what used to be an old bombing range along
Greenbriar Road, about 11 miles south of NAS Jax.

During World War Two and beyond, the site was used by pilots as a
practice bombing target.

"Unexploded ordnance," or metal and residue from the bombs, remains in
the ground today.

The acreage has been clear-cut and surveyors are currently walking the
site, checking for remnants the bombers may have left behind.
